It will be a very long night of faith, of hope, of asking for grace.

The 40th pilgrimage on foot from Sinnai to Bonaria will be preceded by a solemn mass concelebrated shortly after midnight by the Archbishop of Cagliari, Giuseppe Baturi, in the church of Santa Barbara in Sinnai.

The program includes entry into the Church of Santa Barbara from 10:30 PM on April 24th, the arrival of the Bonaria torch at 12:10 AM, the celebration of Mass at 12:15 AM, and then, around 1:30 AM, the start of the pilgrimage from the church square. A first short stop is also planned on the outskirts of town, where the pilgrims will pause for a few minutes in front of the niche of the Madonna .

Then the walk towards Bonaria through Settimo, Selargius (with a stop at 4.30 am at the Salesians), Monserrato, Pirri and Bonaria where you will arrive around 8 am.

Today the Bonaria torch will arrive in Monserrato, then reach the entrance to the Quartucciu juvenile prison, and return to Monserrato where it will begin its return journey to Sinnai during the night, carried on foot by several athletes.

The event, organized by the "Il Segno" association and the parish, as is known, will be broadcast live on Videolina with the Mass after midnight , the pilgrimage to the outskirts of Sinnai and the arrival in Bonaria tomorrow morning at 8. Immediately afterwards, Videolina will repeat the Mass celebrated eight hours earlier in the parish of Sinnai, allowing those unable to follow the Mass live to listen to the Mass.
